In this simple project, carboard from a cereal box and a toilet paper tube are turned into a cute free-standing tree that is great to use as an Arbor Day decoration. You can make a cherry tree for President's Day. Or you can add some tiny paper apples to make an apple tree for Johnny Appleseed's birthday.

When the paint is dry, add decorations to the tree if you like. And don't forget to sign it.

To turn your tree into a fruit tree, paint fruit on it or cut out small colored paper circles and glue them onto the treetop. You can draw some red dots to make a cherry tree for President's Day. Or you can add some tiny paper apples to make an apple tree for Johnny Appleseed's birthday.

Insert the tree into the slits in the tube. You now have your own free-standing tree to help you celebrate Arbor Day.
